I suggest that the patch be modified to use the IDs S0,S1,..,SN rather than 1,2,..,N as it is currently. echo "S${idx}:2345:respawn:${base_sbindir}/getty ${j}" >> ${D}${sysconfdir}/inittab 32467 1 richard.purdie 2013-04-22 13:53:14 +0000 Reassign to Paul since I think he's been talking to John... 32866 2 bluelightning 2013-05-03 10:05:45 +0000 Fix merged to master: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=b4aa6d3886977e660e5391b0f2e0484928d5baaf
